I recently bought a Fujin, but I don't know whether to equip it with Tulumbases or Hydras. Help pls.
Also is the plural form of tulumbas tulumbases or tulumbai?

As to which equip... both are valid choices. So nobody can answer that question for you, especially today with the recent Tulu change/need and Hydra buff making the choice harder. I'd probably go with Hydras today. Seems to fit Fujin immobile Ancile mechanics better, especially now when you basically need line of sight with Tulu... but I have not tried Fujin at all or Hydras seriously. |

Tulumbeese.
Kiddin, I got no idea.
But you'll probably get more mileage out of the tulus. Hydras are kinda... not good. Unless they're leveled a bunch.
Course, if you already have 3 of each. Try both and see which you like better.

I reckon you'll probably put out more damage with Hydras. Esp. is a Fujin where you need to find an ambush spot and wait with Tulumbas. Area denial or control - tulumbasesses  or Molots. |

Hydras have been buffed much this patch. So want DPS? Go Hydra.
Just make sure you know how to stagger fire that thing.
If you want reliability of hits, then go Tulus even though they have been nerfed this patch.

I'm running a 9/9 Hydra Fujin to support team mates that are engaged in knife fights. It does a decent job on any map, but it is not OP. It takes some practice to get the best out of the Hydra Fujin. I really like this bot. It kinda feels like Hydras and Fujin were meant for each other.

Tulumbas fujin performs better on paper than in battle. Having similiar firepower to a griffin, and a protection that is nearly immune to rockets and bullets sounds good, until you realize its really hard to get a clear LoS from 500m away without jump. I vote for hydra fujin. IMO its better than spydra as the only thing that can hit you from behind cover are homing missiles, which the ancile eats up no problem. In a griffin, you really cant dodge spiral or hydra missile.

I never would have guessed there were so many fans of the hydra around.
Hail hydra, I guess?

Bleh, hydra are still garbage and tulus are just "ok", and the fujiin is still the fujiin. I'd not run any of it, but if I were forced I'd go tulumbas. Still miles better than a hydra.

Well aimed tulu can dish out more damage than hydra but its much hardee to use since global rocket nerf. I replaced RDB role as midranger by spydra and flexible role by punisher griffin

I think the Tulumbas are already plural. From Tulumba, a dessert shaped in the form of little rockets, made on the area of the Ottoman Empire.  |

How good is your aim? After the 2.9.1 buff my answer would be tula' (greek reduced plural) but after 2.9.2 nerf Furies can sidestep the rockets now (ok mebbe i exaggerate). Hydras are better after 2.9.2 and serve a psychological bonus as well...reds will chase you down after being hit with an 18 mini sledgehammer salvo. Happy hunting. |

Sadly they don't have proximity detonation, but that's due the current ban on OGM wheats |

At my league level, I see Fujins running Tarans with nominal success. It appears that setup is fairly good at taking and holding a beacon. I only speak as an observer, as I don't one. If I had one, it would be Tarans (and maybe throw in an Orkan for good measure) or Hydras, especially since Hydras received the Buff. Tulumbas are pretty deadly if you have up to five hundred meters of a clear line of sight. But how many maps consistently provide that? Remember that Fujins are slow. Wherever you set up, always make sure that you have an escape route. And watch out for the twin Zeus Carnage. They can be quick, and they don't have to be very close. All they need is a clear line of sight to fry your [hind end]. Even with buffed Hydras, you may not be able to break through their Ancile before they cook you to a golden brown.

If you had a plasma bot you'd reconsider. Fujiin needs a LOT of help before it can be even remotely considered for real play. |

I want to make sure that I understand. I may already have one, but don't refer to it as such. I have several bots and a lot of weapons. Perhaps I can assemble the type of setup that you describe. |

Plasma is a category of weapons, include Gekkos, Trebuchets, Magnums, Tarans or Zeus. They can also be referred to as energy weapons, which I believe some of the descriptions in game say. Basically it refers to weapons that can be fired through an Ancile shield. Fujins are weak to plasma because their main advantage (the Ancile shield) is negated by anything with plasma/energy weapons. |

I don't know how they'll fare in 2.9.2 land. They're generally much better in any scenario when teammates are working with them, though. But the same can be said about most bots. |

The other is a plasma/missile hybrid consisting of a Taran, a Magnum, an Orkan, and a Pinata. I also outfitted my Gareth and Galahad with Plasma. I have one Zeus, but the one needs a twin to really inflict damage. I'm working on building and upgrading, but the higher the upgrade, the longer it takes. It's unbearable to have to wait two and three days. Upgrading to level 12 takes so long, that I might die of old age before all my bots and weapons reach level 12. |

You'll get over this mentality in time, to the point of welcoming long upgrade times so you have a chance to accumulate more silver for the next upgrade. The plasmahad is a fine choice as well, I hadn't suggested it solely because I didn't know you had one. Its a fine choice. |

I find myself getting wrecked by hydras since the patch. I can't figure out if they're actually good, or if me being pretty undergeared in Diamond 1 combined with being on a 20 game streak where there are 1-2 leavers on my team and the server crawling at a snail's pace is the real problem.
